West Tip (foaled 1977, died July 2001) was a racehorse who won the Grand National in 1986, ridden by Richard Dunwoody. He also finished fourth in 1987 and 1988 and second in 1989, again ridden by Dunwoody. He was retired after the 1990 Grand National, in which he finished tenth [1]
Three years prior to his first appearance at the Grand National, West Tip had been injured in an accident involving a lorry outside his stables, after which it was feared the horse would have to be put down. [2]
